Beauty tip #2: Beer!

Apply beer liberally to your hair for extra shine! If you're not too drunk, remember to rinse thoroughly. Beer also makes you more attractive when it is consumed by another person. (This is possibly the only known beauty tip that works best when someone else does it.) A bottle of beer can be an appropriate and delicious accessory at parties, and later, in photos of you at parties on your Facebook profile ("Look at me! I'm drinking a beer! Wa-hey!")

Trie bien Loulou Blag!Love the Big Day Out outfit. What style!Rinsing your hair in beer really does work! It is just best done after the party with all the flat dregs from forgotten cans and bottles found behind the couch.My favourite book is "Confessions of a Shopaholic" by Sophie Kinsella. The sign "Sale" on fashion shop windows always works for me. I just can't wait to get in the door and start shopping.

Why, thank you for your lovely comments. I hadn't thought of using the dregs, very thrifty! Like the character in your fave book, I too have a confession: I never actually tried this beauty tip. At least, not intentionally... but when you're partying really hard, beer is bound to end up in one's hair, don't you find?

All about moi

'Blag' comes from the French word 'blageur' meaning 'to tell lies'. It suits petite moi very well since we all know that French is the international language of fashion! A beautiful phrase which just speaks directly to my heart is "elle dit n'importe quoi" which roughly translates as "she talks horse shit" but it just sounds so much better in French, doesn't it? They really have a way with language... I don’t have a big budget for clothes, a lot of time for shopping, or any actual experience in the fashion industry, and my sense of style is actually really lame. But! even I can see that most people have not found that essential link between their minds and their bodies through clothing and accessories, either. What I do have, though, is a love of fashion and the ability to talk absolute bollocks! So I’ll share my limited knowledge with you all, and the rest I’ll just make up.

Champagne

I drink it when I'm happy and when I'm sad.Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone.When I have company I consider it obligatory.I trifle with it if I'm not hungry and I drink it when I am.Otherwise I never touch it, unless I'm thirsty.
